When using native proofers with Approval Manager, changes made to the file and or metadata added to the file (such as comments, notes, etc...) are not synced with Approval Manager. For that reason, files can be reviewed in the native proofer of your choice, but comments must be added and approval statuses must be set from within Approval Manager.
